24. Night 24 Teacher
"All the tests didn't reveal anything wrong," the doctor said in the ward, holding up the test report. "It's probably hypoglycemia."
Lu Xi nodded, his face still a little weak.
"There's another blood test. I'll have someone send it to Lu's in a few days. You can go back this afternoon after some rest."
After the doctor left, only Lu Xi and Asent were left in the ward. Asent was frightened by her this time, and his face was still filled with shock.
"I'm fine." Lu Xi comforted him.
"Hypoglycemia...what is it...is it serious?" His eyes trembled slightly as he opened them wide. "Why did Miss Lu Xi faint?"
"It's not serious, just eat more."
"But..." He clenched his fists, "But just now..."
The little mermaid had never fainted before. In his opinion, fainting was a very serious matter. She really scared him just now.
"Can you cure it?" Assente was still very concerned.
"..." Lu Xi sighed, "Okay."
Lu Xi had never experienced hypoglycemia before. She had always been in good health. It was probably this injury that affected her body.
Lu Xi went back at noon that day. The wind blew into the car and he felt a little dizzy. The buildings in the distance seemed to be shaking. He closed the car window and leaned against the car. He gradually felt sleepy and his heavy eyelids closed.
…
"Hello, I'm here to deliver a document." In Zhongting's luxurious first-floor lobby, Lu Xi, wearing a windbreaker, stood in front of the counter holding a document. While asking, he quietly observed the surrounding environment.
Compared to their department, Zhongting’s lobby was extremely luxurious, a place where Lu Xi couldn’t squeeze in no matter how hard he tried.
It’s just a pity that she didn’t have the chance until she retired.
"Do you have an appointment?" asked the lady at the counter.
"Yes, my name is Lu Xi."
Maybe Lu Xi was being overly suspicious, because she noticed that when she gave her name, there was a hint of inquiry on the pretty face of the receptionist.
"Okay, please take the elevator over there to the 300th floor."
"Thank you." Lu Xi walked over with the documents.
It was not until she got on the elevator that she vaguely remembered what Mu Nong had told her, that the highest floor of Zhongting was the 300th floor.
Mu Nong also said that no one had ever been there.
Lu Xi shook her head, maybe she remembered it wrongly.
The elevator ride to the 300th floor took much longer than her usual 20-story ride to work. Just when she was starting to feel dizzy from staring at her toes, the elevator finally made a "ding" sound and the door opened.
The floor was spacious and quiet. There was no one around in the empty corridor. Lu Xi didn't know where to submit the information, but since the lady at the counter asked her to come up, it should be this floor.
From the 300th floor window, nothing on the ground could be seen. Some clouds and mist even lingered outside the window. Even if a plane flew past, Lu Xi would not find it strange.
At the end of the long corridor is a door without a face or a house number, but apart from this place, there seems to be no other place that looks like an office.
She stood outside the door for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock." No one responded at all.
"Knock, knock, knock." She knocked three more times.
There was still no sound from inside the door. Logically, if there was someone at work inside, they should have responded to her.
Lu Xi didn't know what to do. She hesitated between leaving and opening the door. Finally, she turned the doorknob.
The door was not locked and opened immediately.
As the door opened, the scene inside came into view. There was no one in front of the large desk, and the elegant glass table and sofa were also empty. Sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, falling on the wool carpet-covered floor, tall bookshelves and potted plants.
There was no one there, I must have gone to the wrong place.
Lu Xi turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed a detail. She was stunned. She saw a hand hanging on the sofa.
A hand that was incredibly white, with distinct joints and faint purple veins, and long knuckles hung down.
At this moment, my hair stood on end.
The floor was deserted, and the bloodless hand was hanging on the sofa. She remembered the last meaningful look of the lady at the counter. Could it be that a murder had happened in Zhongting, and someone wanted to kill her?
But soon, her guess was broken.
Because the "corpse" made a sound.
“Hmm…”
He slowly climbed up from the sofa. Several buttons on his white shirt were unbuttoned, revealing half of his shoulder and collarbone. His snow-white hair was pressed into a mess, and he lazily supported his upper body.
This person has a beautiful skeleton. If it is a little more, he will be rough, and if it is a little less, he will be thin. His skin is faintly marked with red by the sofa.
Under Lu Xi's gaze, he slowly raised his head.
…
After Lu Xi came back from the hospital, he paid more attention to keeping warm and eating well. After all, health is the capital of revolution.
Only when you take good care of your body can you do other things.
On the morning two days after she came back, Lu Muru asked Lu Xi to bring the little mermaid to her place, apparently having instructions for her.
"I don't want to go." Arsenal said with a straight face.
Lu Xi buttoned up his clothes, and his sleeve was gently pulled by a white hand, "Ms. Lu Xi, I won't go."
"Asente, don't be willful." Lu Xi frowned.
Arsenal bit his lip, his face full of reluctance. He didn't like the old woman. Whenever she appeared, nothing good happened.
In the end, Assente was taken away.
The Lu family's reception room is in a retro and elegant classical style. Perhaps because the weather is cold, it seems a bit cold and serious.
They waited for about half an hour before the old man came. The old man was followed by the steward and walked out of the inner room.
The old man glanced at them and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Lu Xi didn't think so, but the other party just realized they had arrived.
The old man leaned on his cane and walked to the chair and sat down. "Today, I want to introduce a teacher to this mermaid cub."
Lu Xi's eyelids jumped, "Really?"
The old man signaled to the steward, who glanced at Lu Xi, walked into the inner room and brought someone over. It was a tall woman with a beautiful oval face and a gentle temperament, but this face made Lu Xi feel inexplicably familiar.
"Plop." The teacup in the little mermaid's hand fell.
"Mother...mother?"
The little mermaid propped himself up and tried to pounce, but was pressed tightly into the wheelchair by Lu Xi. He grabbed the hem of her clothes, trembling all over.
"Ms. Lu Xi, she is my mother, my..."
But soon, he calmed down.
Because he found that it was not his mother, the smell on their bodies was different, and the woman in front of him was a human.
This is a woman who looks very much like his mother...
"Asent." The old man spoke, looking at the little mermaid with cloudy eyes, and said: "She is your new teacher, her name is Longyue."
Lu Xi next to him slowly narrowed his eyes.
